Description
About the Glenn Curtiss Historical Society
Curtiss photographer and personal secretary John H. Whitney poses in one of the planes Curtiss used to train pilots on North Island in 1911.
While aviation pioneer Glenn H. Curtiss was inventing the aircraft that would be the start of naval aviation, John H. Whitney took pictures. Whitney worked as Curtiss' personal secretary and company photographer.
Whitney's son, John A. Whitney, inherited his father's collection of photographs and stories he had written about his time with Curtiss. The Glenn Curtiss Historical Society is, at the time of this writing, made up of John A. Whitney; John A. Whitney's children, Marilyn V. Whitney, M.D., and Ronald J.C. Whitney; and Whitney family friend Jay M. Farlow. They formed their organization expressly to create this web site and thereby make available to you John H. Whitney's images and information.
